I run adblocker plus, so I dont see any ads. I dont feel guilty about it because I buy from vendors here. If Saint ever needed a fund raiser, I'd gladly donate.

Seems I had a ad virus. Thanks to MSI for knowing I had it but failing to tell me. I'm not a fan of MSI. Should have not listened to my IT guy at work and kept with Norton. Time to go bomb change all my passwords....

That would do it. If you are on chrome, you can easily check when this crap is installed by going to the extension manager.

On my home PC, I was shopping for my wife for jewelry for our anniversary or something like that. Ended up going to a few sites that also sold lingerie, and for the next month my ads here were all pics of women in panties. It was my home computer, so I looked at it as a karma bonus for shopping for my wife. :)

Noscript for Firefox and Safescript for Chrome work wonders as well. They can prevent page hijacking as well as block Flash unless you want to run an element on the page.

Vigo - I checked my extensions multiple times. Didn't have anything. It was in a programs folder. I ran a quick program to remove it and completely re-installed chrome. I have become really lax in running scans every Friday for Malware and viruses. I was good in college when I was at the computer for 10-14 hours a day. Looks like I'll have to pick up the pace again.

Jimmy - After my ordeal I am running adblock. Like I said before I'm starting to pick up old habits. Like they say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
